Discourse sign in redirects to root directory instead of subfolder

[RGJ (Richard - Communiteq)]

There has been a lot of discussion about this. My personal opinion is that it indeed does not matter.

Gary Illyes, the guy who handles all of this stuff at Google has said on many occasions that subfolder has no benefit over subdomain. In his keynote at Pubcon 2018 he went to far so say that Google doesn’t care.

Yet still we regularly get posts here from users insisting they need subfolder because they read it somewhere on a blog, or have some anecdotal experience which contradicts expert opinion.
